Moscow ranked first in startup ecosystems in Central and Eastern Europe
Moscow tops the rating of startup ecosystems in Central and Eastern Europe. This is stated in the report of the StartupBlink research center, which TAdviser got acquainted with at the end of November 2024.
StartupBlink ranks ecosystems for start-ups based on a vast database of more than 1,000 cities and 100 countries around the world. Such parameters as the number and quality of innovative companies, innovative infrastructure facilities, as well as the volume of investments are taken into account. StartupBlink provides all stakeholders in the global startup ecosystem with accurate information to help make decisions.
The Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2024 rated the activities of 1759 startups in Moscow. This accounts for about 85% of all young companies in Russia. It is noted that Moscow is the highest-ranking ecosystem of startups in the Russian Federation.
Despite the fact that Moscow holds leading positions in startup ecosystems both in the Russian Federation and in Central and Eastern Europe, on a global scale, the position of the Russian capital has somewhat weakened. In the 2024 ranking, Moscow dropped two lines - to 32nd place, thus dropping out of the Top 30.

San Francisco is the leader in the world ranking, followed by New York and London.
Russia as a whole, as noted in the study, has experienced a slight decline since 2020, losing six places: the country ranks 35th, which is the lowest figure since the introduction of this index. Moscow is the center of Russian ecosystems and the only representative of the Russian Federation in the global Top 250.[1]
